Living at college can sometimes feel like living in a bubble. Staying up to date with classes, clubs, and friends is hard enough that sometimes, national or international news just isn’t easy to work in.

While people often get heated over political debates, there are plenty of people out there that get heated over silly little things, like whether someone is a dog person or a cat person. While there’s nothing wrong with a bit of teasing, the reality is that both make great pets, and “taking a side” just means you’re missing out on some great animals.
